I’ve been working on coloring some illustrations for a proposal. I had been isolating my line art through channels and various other methods, when I came across this tutorial on a quick and easy way to get your line work on it’s own layer without having to worry about channels or the like. The tutorial is by Jeff Smith’s colorist Steve Hamaker.

It’s really fantastic. I was losing some lines with other methods (lots of rain drops), but not with this one. Thanks Steve!
